Monday Preview - Mysterious Gentlemen

Recommended Posts

Happy Monday Wyrdos! Today was a bit of an odd one. I wandered into the office and found an envelope on my desk. No markings on it. I discovered these guys in that envelope. Unsure of what it might mean, I figured I would leave it to the community to help me figure out. What do you think these are? Speculate away!

Could maybe pull some abilities from Guild? They remind me of lawyers or something similar. Possibly intended to bring something fresh to Ressers but also be useful to hire from the Domador de Cadaveres?

YES. Give them the Lawyer's worthless ability that puts "fees +1" on an non master opponent, so other factions can feel what it is like to have a 6ss(now 5ss) succeed in an attack that has no effect when it lands 90% of the time.

I mean it would kind of fit right into ressers! Essentially another form of Bloated Stench...

Surely you flip a decent crow on the attack slightly more than 10%...but then accounting for opposing card...eh, you’re probably close enough for horseshoes and hand-grenades.

It’s vexing me slightly that these outfits look older than current day Malifaux, but from what little I follow Resser lore, there’s a bit of a shortage of fresh corpses (hard to imagine—are there city Neverborn helping to eat them all?) so maybe Ressers are digging deeper?

I'm wondering if they might have either of the Midnight Stalker's two passives - penalizing attacking him until he's attacked, and not being able to attack already-activated models. Might go with the same upper-class nature?

Alt Belles are possible, but another possibility I raised on FB: " An interesting possibility might be Malifaux upper-class citizens who see undeath as either a trendy affectation or a way to beat the reaper, and have the means to either buy the materials themselves or hire someone to "do the deed" as it were? "
